Legislators Re-Think Transportation in the Merrimack Valley

On Line Virtual Workshop MA, United States

Join MVPC as Legislators participate in a round-table discussion on transportation issues in the Merrimack Valley sponsored by the Merrimack Valley TMA and the Merrimack Valley Chamber of Commerce. No one knows what the transportation network will look like/function when the “new normal” comes about. Teleworking will likely continue at higher levels than what we saw last year, but not at the levels we’re seeing now. Congestion will increase, but by how much? As an MPO, we need to be able to track these behaviors and even to predict them. This Roundtable should help us to do that.
